Vehicle description
Franklin manufactured air-cooled engine cars in Syracuse, NY from 1902 - 1934, creating approximately 150,000 cars in that time frame. They were competing with other luxury cars such as Cadillac, Packard, Pierce Arrow, etc. They made only 1,820 cars of all models in 1932! This is a very low mileage car and the original upholstery is still in excellent shape! No stains! (I was told it is original, and it matches the pattern in my original sales literature) The car was disassembled when I bought it in May 2014. From May 2014 through May 2015 I had the body and fenders restored and painted, and I reassembled the car. I refinished all the interior wood trim, restored the hydraulic brake system, updated all of the chrome and installed five new tires. It is converted to a 12 volt system and an Air Conditioning system is installed! I showed the car at the Million-Air lease company"s "Wings and Wheels" show at Dallas Addison airport in May 2015 and was awarded "Best Domestic Car" trophy from among 50+ domestic and custom show vehicles. In July 2017 I updated the engine with new Egge pistons, re-seated the valves and checked the connecting rod clearances. The car looks beautiful and runs well - it is ready for a new owner.
